lower body lift

A body lift treats loose skin in the abdomen, flanks, buttocks and thighs, and is a combination of an abdominoplasty, medial thigh lift and buttock lift, removing skin all the way around the body. This operation is common after large amounts of weight loss.

The lower body lift is a long operation under general anaesthetic (often taking 8 hours), with hospital stay of 5-7 days. There is a prolonged recovery time, with most patients taking 6 weeks off work, but the operation provides a dramatic and life-changing improvement in body contour.
